Protect them, that they may live and not die, by doing this. When they approach the most holy things
20 Fe tsy hizilik’ ao o nte-Kehàteo hisamba ty fandrakofañe o raha miavakeo tsy mone hihomake.
they must not go in to see the holy place even for a moment, or they must die. Aaron and his sons must go in, and then Aaron and his sons must assign each of the Kohathites to his work, to his special tasks.”
